The Mid Island Business Initiative (MIBI) invites you to join us and discover the incredible opportunities that await you and your business.

We engage with businesses to hear the story of their successes, share the advantages of living and working here, and facilitate the present and future prosperity of our region.

Mid Vancouver Island offers a distinctly unique combination of excitement and rejuvenation. With the costs of living and doing business a mere fraction of those in Vancouver and Victoria, the Nanaimo region is an ideal place to work and play.

The city of Nanaimo is the economic hub of the Mid Island. You can easily connect with the rest of the Island, the Mainland, and beyond.

Boundless nature and activity awaits you in the Mid Island. With a cost of living ¼ of that in Vancouver, you can do more than just work hard.

In the next 25 years, our skilled, educated population is set to increase by 30%. We invite you to join our dynamic, expanding business community.
